THE Rate OF TAXATION
As PROVIDED FOR D.
ALTON Ri THE COMMITTEE
Appointed From the county Court
No Special LevIes for Turn
pikes-A Mistake.

The committee appointed from the
County Court, at it's lest session, to
recommend new rate Ct taxation for
the county for the year 1887, held a
meeting for that purpose yesterday.
II consists OF Justices Holeman, Gross
and Jackson, County Court CLERK
Qnigley and County Attorney Jordan.
The work mapped out for them was
finished, aud will be submitted to the
parent body at its meeting next Mon
day. Thtre were only few changes
from the rats which prevailed last
year, but they are radical and In a
majority OF cases we'll timed. Follow
ing are the most important ones:
Banks are raised 500, which goes
entirely to the State.
Land stock companies, an infant en-
terprise, are taxed $25 as a privilege
license, and per cent. on all collec.
tons.
Bill posters will have to aid in sus-
tanning the State and county by tax
Of SO to each.
Coal oil agencies come In for the
heaviest slice, having $1,000 tackled
on for the county and q like sam for
the State.
All parties engaging in the industry
OF purchasing witness fees at liberal
discount, will ia future have to pay
$3.50 for the privilege, $3.50 Of which
goes TO the county and the remainder
to The CITY. Judge DuBose some time
ago Issued his pronunciamento against
the practice 30 far as his jurisdiction
extended, and the committee made
this recommendation in order 10 make
it doubly effective. No other result
than absolute collapse Of the business
can follow.
The privilege of operating street rail
waya is raissd from 800 to 800 al
told.
Legitimate thea'ers are taxed $500
an increase OF only $50 A heavier in
crease came from the State, and ia or
der to Offset it the county made a re-
duCtion to the laat named amount.
Variety theaters are r.ised from &3G(
to $500 by the Slate, snd the county
also demands 5000, making tota
privilege tax OF 400 1t ID thought
this will initiate to crush out the bust
ness.
Under the new law the court cannot
levy turnpike tax on any privilege
Rhis is truly unfortunate and difficult
to understand. By it one OF the most
important promoters Of commerce
loses thousands OF dollars. There ha'
never been any kick against 1t by the
tax payer; on the other hand, il wsI
always paid more cheetfully than any
other. There is a way to remedy the
shortening, and it will probably b.
done, The court can make an appro
priation for the pnrp 1se from tho gen
eral fdnd, aud it is undsTstood every
member will hsariiIy favor and vote
for such an appropriation.
The announcement yesterday tina
the new law had provided for bi
haul from bookmakers on racin
events, caused a determined protes
from the Jockey Club officers, but ther
is no way to escape itsavs by abandon
In Z the business. This is certainly pro
vlding for revenue in a wrong diret
ton, ss such institutions do more {
build up and make prosperous cit
than q great many Others touched u
lightly.

A Texas $ Yarn,

Two boys were flying kites. One of
the lads, whose name was Yess,rp, when
about 400 yards of string had been
paid out, asked his father to write a
message and send it up the kite. The
old man sat down and wrote this:
"Send some rain. Yessup.'' The mes
sage climbed UP the string. A bird
circl!ng high in the air winged it's way
to the bit of paper, which it pecked
viciously. An hour later the kite was
hauled in by the boy. The paper
was in tattcrs, the only part of the mes
sage remaining intact being this por-
ton OF the signature, "Yes::'' Two

Mrs. lsenn's Strange Present;ment,

Louisa Benn, the daughter of a

up her mind to emigrate to Australia,
and gained the consent Of her parents.
Just before she was to sail, however,
hcr mother dreamed that the ship which
WAS to carry her daughter struck rock
near the Australian coast and went
down with great loss of life. Sh sue

going, but not until the girls baggage
had been placed on board the vessel and

Thomas Stevens, who has Just been

India. The Grand Trunk road is 1,6OO miles,
an unbroken highway of marvellous perfec-
tion, from PershaWar on the Afghan frontier

The fast riding champion of the world,
however, Is Richard Howell, of Leicester,
between IS and 30years of age, six feethigh,
and weighing, in training, about 100 pounds.
He commenced riding IN 1879 and In 1881,
at Belgravia grounds, Leicester, he won
the one mile championship of the world,
beating all the best men of the day.
From that time his career has been one
OF almost unbroken successes. He came to
the United States in 1884 and 1885, and at
the great Springfield tournament in 1885,
won seven out Of eight races. /
In the 'Cycling News (Eng.), October LIST,
1887, is the following interview with him:
"What are your best performancess''
''This year did full mile on the track at
Coventry in 2 minutes, IS seconds. Good
Judges think, with every thing in my favor,

What is your system of trainingf':

after that meal, if am loggy, ride eight or

A new star to Los Angeles theater,
goers comes to the Grand Opera House
tomorrow evening, in the person OF
Daniel Sully, an Irish comedian who has
"won his spurs" in the East and is con.
sidered one of the best comedians of the
present age. He dates the beginning of
his popularity from the production of his
farce.comedy, The Corner Grocery, in
New York City four years ago. This
exceedingly funny skit made a lasting
impression at that time, and has since
been remarkably successful throughout
the country. 1t has been played more
than $50 times in New York City alone
within the past four years. During the
past and present season Mr.. Sully has
been playing new production, entitled
Daddy Nolan, play that has
equally az much fun as is pos
sessed by The Corner Grocery, and at the
same time more genuine merit. MIR.
Sully's work has been lkened by able
able critics to that OF Joseph Jefferson
in it's finish. lis delicacy aud lis mug
netic qualities. Daddy Nolan will be
given Monday, Wednesday and Friday
evenings, and at the Saturday matinee.
At the other performances The Corner
Grocery will be played.
